In that this is my first experience with the rare and elusive East Coast tri-tip. Is an almos t eleven pound an anomoly? I'm treating it like a steamship. which it resembles. Used SR tri-tip rub but increased all to 2T instead of 2t. (didn't use it all anyway) added crushed coririander seed 'cause I can and am mopping with a mixture of canola and Goya Mojo Criollo marinade. Cooking in a NB offset using briquttes (Sorry!) and a mixture of red oak and hickory..

Yard,
That’s sounds really good. Let us know how it turned out. I usually marinate the Tri-Tip roast in Steve’s Three-Herb Chimichurri sauce (except I use Oregano in place of mint) and it comes out real good. I also top the meat with the same sauce before serving.

I am most eager to hear how it came out YB. I have not tried this cut but have heard a lot about it. You have perked my interest on it again. Right now, however I have some Buffa-que wings to address. Ciao.

Wow, that is a pretty good size tri-tip. I just cooked three of them today, and they averaged about 1 1/2 pounds each. I just used some Montreal steak seasoning, and threw them on the smoker with some hickory, for about 4 hours at 130 degrees, then grilled them to 140 degrees. They turned out tender and juicy.

At 11 pounds of meet who cares what cut it is... Its 11 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mmmmmmm I didnt think that sort of stuff happened until you died and went to heaven...

Just bring me my pitch form cause 11 pounds is going to take me a good long sitting... and no I would not share it! for me, going to the butcher is like goin to the candy store with a little kid..... I always need multiple credits cards....

and yes I put up the same fuss as a 5 yr old if you try to take any away.... mmmmm meat

Wal Mart Super Center in Georgia is now carrying Tri-Tip roast for$2.68/lbs. They also had Skirt Steaks for $4.37/lbs. Amazing! We’re finally getting a variety of cuts on this side of the country.
I’ve never thought of Wal Mart as a place to buy good meat, but I was very impressed today with their meat section. The even had fresh beef briskets and Boston Butts.
